Reading edition
“Todos conforman en que este (Cuculcan) entró por la parte del poniente.” Herrera, Historia de las Indias, Dec. IV, cap. 2. Looking toward the North, Itzamna was the right-hand god, Cuculcan the left-hand; hence, the arrival of the former was called nohnial, “right-hand coming,” of the latter, dzicnial, “left-hand coming.” (Cogolludo, Hist. de Yucatan, Lib. IV, cap. IV.)
